We're still in pre-season, mind, so there's no legitimate reason for the AI to be doing this.
In this particular test I see a few players that qualifies under your "Made this feature unplayable" comment.

Lets evaluate his moves.

March 31 Received LF Vincente Lupo from the International complex
March 31 Sent him to Kingport
April 4 Received from Kingsport
April 11 Sent to Kingsport

March 31 Received SS Ahmed Rosario from the International complex
March 31 Sent him to Kingsport
April 11 Sent him to Kingsport
(Rosario was sent to Kingsport twice in a row it is nothing more than a double reporting of a move) He was simply sent to Kingsport


March 31 Received Pedro Perez from Kingsport
March 31 Sent him to Kingsport
April 1 Recieved him from Kingsport
April 11 Sent him to Kingsport


Are these reports kinda annoying, not to me. But they obviously are to you, but remember all of this stuff is happening and you don't really even have a team right now all you have is a contract to run a team that the Mother Ship builds for you. I present to you that these are nothing more than paperwork shifts by the Big league clubs and in fact the player never moves anywhere. Do you really believe for one minute that Lupo and Perez went back and forth from Port St Lucie, Florida to Kingsport,Tennessee 4 times in 12 days when the teams in question don't even play a game for another 9 weeks?

You Mr One Post Wonder are making a Mountain out of a Molehill imho. This in no way makes the game "unplayable" It takes imagination to play this game, use it and imagine that the Big League Clubs had some idiot making minimum wage in the front office who messed up the paper work and these players were sent to where ever they ended up only once.

Or is that too simple of a solution for you?

If anything this isn't an AI issue it is a text reporting issue and like I said it in no way, shape or form makes the game UN-PLAYABLE as you claim. Is this usefull enough for you?
